Deal now done,

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Buffalo Sabres announced Tuesday that the team has agreed to terms on a US$14.1-million, four-year contract extension with forward Jochen Hecht. Hecht's new contract will keep him in Buffalo through the 2011-2012 season.

Hecht, who will earn $2.35 million this year, was slated for unrestricted free agency after this season. He will earn $3.8 million in 2008-09, $3.8 million in 2009-10, $3.5 million in 2010-11 and $3 million in 2011-12.
